Feeling unhealthy, bigots, people who don't treat everybody as an equal. To be honest, don't get me started!

Hi All, I'm new here so Hello! I was just wondering if anybody knew, how often should you change your pens? Do they lose accuracy in you're dose after a while?
Hope you're all feeling good today,

Hi Cary and welcome.

There was a post recently saying manufacturers advise replacing them every four years I think it was.

Well. I'd suggest reading the manual because it's actually listed in there (e.g. three years for Humapen Luxura HD)
